Our vision

Excellence through raising attainment: ensuring
that every child achieves the highest standards in literacy and
numeracy, set out within Curriculum for Excellence levels, and
the right range of skills, qualifications and achievements to
allow them to succeed; and

Achieving equity: ensuring every child has the
same opportunity to succeed, with a particular focus on closing
the poverty-related attainment gap.

We need Scottish education to deliver both excellence in terms
of ensuring children and young people acquire a broad range of
skills and capacities at the highest levels, whilst also delivering
equity so that every child and young person should thrive and have
the best opportunity to succeed regardless of their social
circumstances or additional needs.

The Framework envisions "a Scotland in which
all children and young people can realise their
potential, regardless of their social background or learning needs,
thereby developing the knowledge, skills and attributes they will
need to flourish in life, learning and work."
